* Translation: Hello and welcome to Strathmore Community School
"Coming from a very ordinary, white middle-class background, I love the exposure the school gives my son to languages and cultures different from his. A small class means he gets an excellent formal education, plus as a bonus he's learning how to get along with people who approach life from other angles. Maybe that's why I consider the title 'community school' fits so well."

"Before we set up the health promoting team ‘CLEAN FREAKS' there was a lot of people not putting their rubbish in the bins. We helped clear up the school and helped people put their rubbish in the bins and compost bins. We held a survey on bullying last year because people were bullying one another and since the start of the year there has been no incidences."
